User-friendly view of the status of BC Ferries sailings
This code will not run straight out of the box...
What this does:-
- scrapes the BC Ferries website for sailing statuses
- stores the results
- displays them in a nice, easy to read format
You can see this in action at https://ferrystatus.nsnw.ca/, although it may well be broken at any point.
These instructions are brief and not at all complete. Here be dragons.
- Set up a virtualenv and install the Python dependencies with
pip install -r requirements.txt - Install NodeJS dependencies with
npm install - Build the frontend with
npm run all:dev - Run with
./manage.py runserver
There's a few helpers that are set up as Django management commands. ./manage.py update will go and pull the current data from the BC Ferries website and populate the database. In production, worker.py is run to periodically query the same data.
